Chili Brown Rice With Chicken, Black Beans And Olives


1. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat; add the rice. Toast, stirring occasionally, until aromatic, 2-3 minutes.

2. Turn heat to low; push rice aside. Stir in chili powder to taste, cumin and oregano; toast 15 seconds. Gradually stir in water; stir in 2 cups of the salsa and the salt. Taste; stir in more chili powder if you like. Heat to a boil over high heat. Cover; reduce heat to low. Simmer until rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 1 hour.

3. Stir in beans, chicken, corn and olives; if mixture seems dry, stir in more salsa. Cover; continue cooking 1 minute. Turn off heat; let rest, covered, 4 minutes.

4. Stir in avocado and cilantro. Add lime juice, pepper and salt to taste, if needed. Serve at the table with bowls of salsa, sour cream, cheese and onion.
